The Farmer's and Merchant's Bank Building, also known as the Garber Bank, is a historic building in Red Cloud, Nebraska. It was built in 1888-1889 by Seward Garber and John W. Moon.[2] The bank's founding president was Silas Garber. Author Willa Cather took inspiration from the Garber family to write about Captain and Mrs Forrester in her 1923 novel, A Lost Lady.[2] She also used the building as inspiration in her 1935 novel, Lucy Gayheart.[2] It was designed in the Renaissance Revival architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 5, 1981.[1]
